Established in 1985, Oxbow designs and sells a range of outdoor clothing and accessories under its own brand. Its collections are inspired by the world of board sports : surf, snowboard,… The company also signed manufacturing and distribution licensing agreements for several product categories: motocross, watches, luggage, and footwear. Oxbow's positioning lies in a combination of comfortable and quality products with an active and nature-lover image, which has allowed Oxbow to become one of the top European brands in the surfwear industry.

Managed by an enthusiastic and experienced management team, Oxbow is willing to focus on two main targets in the years to come: further increase its international presence, mostly in Europe , and expand its distribution channels by opening several company-owned retail stores. In July 2004, Oxbow was floated on Paris' Euronext market, allowing the Company to accelerate the implementation of its growth strategy.

In May 2005, the stake in Oxbow is sold to French outdoor leader Lafuma, thus completing its outdoor offering with a new Boardriding division.
